Song of Solomon 8:4-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 “[a](A)I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
[b]Do not arouse or awaken my love
Until [c]she pleases.”
“[e]Beneath the [f](C)apple tree I awakened you;
There your mother was in labor with you,
There she was in labor and gave you birth.
6 “Put me like a [g]seal over your heart,
Like a (D)seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
[h](E)Jealousy is as severe as Sheol;
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
[i]The very flame of the Lord.

4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(A)
Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(B)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(C) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(D) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](E) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
